This AWS Solutions Construct implements an AWS CloudFront fronting an Amazon API Gateway Lambda backed REST API.

Here is a minimal deployable pattern definition in Typescript:

import { CloudFrontToApiGatewayToLambda } from '@aws-solutions-constructs/aws-cloudfront-apigateway-lambda';

new CloudFrontToApiGatewayToLambda(this, 'test-cloudfront-apigateway-lambda', {
    lambdaFunctionProps: {
        code: lambda.Code.fromAsset(`${__dirname}/lambda`),
        runtime: lambda.Runtime.NODEJS_12_X,
        handler: 'index.handler'
    }
});

Initializer

new CloudFrontToApiGatewayToLambda(scope: Construct, id: string, props: CloudFrontToApiGatewayToLambdaProps);

Parameters

• scope Construct
• id string
• props CloudFrontToApiGatewayToLambdaProps

lambdaFunctionProps?	lambda.FunctionProps	User provided props to override the default props for the Lambda function.
apiGatewayProps?	api.LambdaRestApiProps	Optional user provided props to override the default props for API Gateway
cloudFrontDistributionProps?	cloudfront.CloudFrontWebDistributionProps	Optional user provided props to override the default props for CloudFront Distribution
insertHttpSecurityHeaders?	boolean	Optional user provided props to turn on/off the automatic injection of best practice HTTP security headers in all responses from CloudFront

Pattern Properties

Name	Type	Description
cloudFrontWebDistribution	cloudfront.CloudFrontWebDistribution	Returns an instance of cloudfront.CloudFrontWebDistribution created by the construct
edgeLambdaFunctionVersion	lambda.Version	Returns an instance of the edge Lambda function version created by the pattern.
